Gadget Presents The Dirty Thumbs Project

 

My man Gadget just dropped this collection of self produced head nod fodder. The man from Millenium Jazz ropes in a few of his usual collaborators such as Louis Unseen, Jabba tha Kut, EdXL, Emma Louise and Dan Bull as well as Beit Nun, 777, Joey Gzus and many others. Gadgets displays a range of styles but never strays too far from his typical jazz infleunced, dusty steeze being a MPC head you know hes got that classic boom bap edge to his production. Thats how its goin down, Sinners, Its not a good look and Light years stood out on my first listen. The project is well worth the £5 thisll set you back. Listen on the bandcamp player below and follow the links to support UK and buy the project.

The Modern Age

Ive been listening to the latest edition of Task Forces MFTC Archives (vol. 2) and Ive had The Modern Age on at least once a day (normally alot more than that) since I downloaded both collections. In a time where youth are driven to ever desperate means to keep up with the modern age, those in power are abusing their excessive salaries and lifestyles, Simon Cowell openly lines his pockets with the pipe dreams of vulnerable (if a bit naive) people and wars are waged for monatery gain in the name of freedom not many other MCs have articulated the problems and heartache with such skill and emotion. MFTC vol 4's 3 Fingers is one of my favourite Task Force songs it was good to hear another track that had that same haunting, provocative wordplay and poetic social commentry that worked so well on 3 fingers. Cop the track from the above player or both collections from the bandcamp page.

This is a quote from B-Boy ChazB "All I'm saying is that we need to forget about the cash prizes or the reputation we'll gain by going to an event and doing ____. It's actually all about understanding that this event will be a literal timeline of Scottish breaking; from the era of Glasgow City Breakers and LCC, all the way through to Flyin' Jalapenos and Heavy Smokers. Understanding the history of something ALWAYS changes your mind about the topic, you perceive it in a different but effective light. I'm just saying that if you think you know Hip Hop, or think you are Hip Hop, you need to come down and pay your dues to those that came before you...:)"

New track here from Franko Fraize. Franko goes in with the flow he is best known for over a laid back 150bpm beat.
